The NIS-catchall entry switches from files to NIS lookup and never goes back,
so it must be the last entry in /etc/passwd (the other +/-{user,@netgroup}
entries don't have to be).
That's how the nss_compat mode for /etc/passwd (and /etc/group) traditionally
works.
It's age-old historic behaviour that the NIS entry must be the last one. It
doesn't seem to be specified somewhere, but it worked like this since very
early SunOS when NIS was first included.
